I absolutely loved this book. I just love a happy ending. I thought this book was well written. I love all of Rachel Harris books. I am looking forward to reading more books by her.

I love a good YA contemporary romance. And having dance be the main focus was definitely unique. Unfortunately, that's where the uniqueness ended. The characters were the same cut-out from every other book and it even had the same "quirky" tee-shirts that another Entangled Teen Press book had (down to the exact shirt) which has me wondering what they do on the back end. Like the girls "have" to be quirky by having them wear stuff that 80% of the population wears. Hello, those shirts wouldn't be around if they didn't sell well.

Anyway, the characters were ok I guess. I didn't really get into this book like I have others and I think it comes down to characters. Also, can we please have a book where the characters aren't going through something monumental? Like, can't they just be teens?

I also wish that cancer as mentioned in the information about the book because if it had, I wouldn't have picked it up.

This books hit you like a cool breeze while relaxing on the beach. The characters are infectious and I challenge you to not find yourself in every moment Lily is clumsy lolStone is fantastically written, it’s nice to know what goes on inside the mind of your QB to be honest.Rachel Harris has done it again. She pulls you in and wraps you up with characters who become family.Eyes On Me is a must read!

A lovely book about sweet first love. I adored Stone, wow, did I!!! Lily was wonderful too and I enjoyed watching her evolve, was a gorgeous and fun journey. This book will make you feel good and lead you to smiles. Sweet, steamy, delicately delicious.

Summary: Lily Bailey is a proud nerd. She loves books and spends more time studying than she does at high school football games. Lily’s life begins to change when after a stress induced trip to the hospital, her dad forces her to take ballroom dancing lessons. At her first lesson Lily encounters Stone Torres, the high school’s star quarterback and son of the dance studio’s owner. Lily’s dad knows she doesn’t want to spend her free time learning to salsa so he offers Stone a large payment if he will become Lily’s permanent dance partner and encourage her to keep taking classes. Stone knows that his family’s business is in jeopardy and reluctantly accepts Mr. Bailey’s money in hopes that he may be able to help keep the studio open. However, as Stone and Lily spend more time together the two form a connection that neither want to lose.

What’s Good: I love a book with a smart main character and Lily was a fabulously brainy girl. Also, s a person that reads a lot of YA, I appreciate when an author has an original angle. Harris’s dance studio romance had a very cute and originally feeling premise.

What’s Not So Good: It took me a really long time to warm up to Stone and Lily. They just didn’t really connect for me until about a third of the way through the book. I was may more interested in the possible romance between Stone’s sister and his best friend.

Bottom Line: This is a cute book about opposite attract that fans of YA romance will enjoy.
